Dossier concerning Chen Gushi (陳顧氏), a 42-year-old woman from Zhejiang, whose death in Shanghai in August 1944 was investigated as suicide by jumping from a building. The incident occurred on 2 August 1944. Police reports and witness statements investigate the circumstances immediately preceding the suicide and include particularly detailed testimony from her husband, Chen Chunyou (陳春友).

Chen Chunyou stated that he and the deceased had been married for approximately twenty years. He explained that he had recently become unemployed and that the family was experiencing serious economic and subsistence difficulties. According to his testimony, these conditions had produced increasing tension in the household, and the couple had quarreled on the afternoon preceding the suicide. He explicitly connected his wife's decision to jump from the building with the family's deteriorating livelihood and their domestic dispute. The dossier subsequently passed to the prosecutorial authorities and contains formal questioning, a judicial inquest, and a detailed examination of the corpse. The medico-legal record identifies the deceased as 陳顧氏, aged 42, and documents injuries consistent with a fall from height. The final forensic conclusion attributes death to injuries sustained in the fall (跌傷身死).
